...Since I've realized Pierre, Querardo and Jonas are all 3rd Years... Well, I kind of have a weird idea: While its in Liocott when they truly get to meet each other better, let's just say the three were at least a bit wary of their existences BEFORE the FFI even began.

This was something that has been hinted over and over in prior posts, but I like to believe that there must had been other continental tourneys before, including some sort of Juvenile Eurocup. And one edition in particular happened during the "First Year" of these captains, meaning they were only 12-13 years old back then.

Needless to say, their circumstances were different for the most part. Only Pierre wore the captain band, with someone else stealing the spotlight for both Spain and Germany. And hell, Jonas wasn't even a field player, so most of the time he was just watching others play from the sidelines :(

The team performances weren't that great either, with the three sharing the same fate. France didn't pass the group stages, Spain did but fell to the dutch, and Germany also fell in semifinals by the actual winner of the competition, England.

At least these experiences weren't so bad. It helped to solidify Que's love for soccer, it created the footprint for Pierre's graceful plays, and while Jonas passed without glory nor shame; this experience and prior improvements would lead to him to be the favorite of the upper leads of Operation Sicherung (And later on the ones who'd influence the creation of Brockenborg).

Oh yeah, and Edgar is here too ig. He won this tourney fair and square, not much else to say.

Note: This headcanon was written originally a year ago and things barely changed from it, EXCEPT for one key addition: Germany and Spain shared a group and even had a match; just that Pollack wasn't sent to play in the field. Germany lost this match, but was still able to qualify as a 2nd place. An incredible mix of both bad and good luck, knowing they ended better than Querardo's team...
